[Dialogue] help with 2 memory questions

[W. J.]

First they came for the communists,
   but I was not a communist--
   so I said nothing.
Then they came for the social
      democrats,
   but I was not a social democrat--
   so I did nothing.
Then came the trade unionists,
   but I was not a trade unionist.
And then they came for the Jews,
   but I was not a Jew--
   so I did little.
Then when they came for me,
   there was no one left who could
      stand up for me.
 
According to Martin Marty, this is the received version based on oral comments by Martin Niemoller.

Guys, that's what we have the internet for, when we can't remember details. You can type in any part of a Bible verse or facsimile thereof, and Google will point you to the Source. More or Less.
For the second quote, you might try both Reinhold Niebuhr and M. L. King, Jr.

"Compassion is the ultimate attitude of wealth: an anti-poverty attitude, a war on want. . . It is the attitude that one has been born fundamentally rich rather than that one must become rich. Without this kind of confidence, meditation cannot be transferred into action at all."                   -Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Hi,

 

I am trying to remember where the New Testament verses are that go something like:

I was hungry and you fed me, I was naked and you clothed me.

 

The other question has to to do with the oppressed and the oppressors.  Part of it has to do with as long as anyone is oppressed, I am oppressed.  I think it also talks about being the oppressor is anyone is oppressed.  I think it is part of a paper used in one of the OE courses.

 

Thanks for any and all help.

Colleen Smith
